SHERIDAN — Join the Creative Aging program of WYO PLAY for the production of “The Pony Expresso (Or, The Villain Came to a Grinding Halt)” at The Hub on Smith Nov. 20 and Nov.21 at 1:30 p.m.
Directed by Pat Tomsovic with assistance from Shari Peddicord, the action takes place in "The Pony Expresso,” a coffee shop and pony express station in the budding community of Waterpit, Nevada, where many people are coming to settle at a time when it seemed like everyone in the West was horsing around.
The heroine (StarBright) and her aunt (Dee Caff) are owners of the coffee shop/pony express station. The villain (Mo Cabana) and his assistant (Fifi Latte) have come to town and have set up a coffee cart to compete with the coffee shop, with plans to acquire the coffee shop/pony express station for themselves.
Suddenly customers are falling ill and Mayor Coffey and Doc Cappuccino are concerned it might befoul play. Most Eligible Cowpoke and Temporary Sheriff (Buck Brawn) will do anything to save the love of his life (Star).
Join the Creative Aging group for this raucous show. During intermission, audiences will be treated with songs from the "Cappucino Cowgirls.”
This Creative Aging activity is made possible by the Homer A. and Mildred S. Scott Foundation and a grant provided by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in partnership with E. A. Michelson Philanthropy, though the Wyoming Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the WyomingLegislature.
